Subject: horizontal spacing
Date: Sat, 16 May 2015 02:09:44 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <55570958.70505@gmail.com> (raw)

In the below example, used with the latest standalone ConTeXt version, I 
can only get
\hskip to work when the parameter is 1 dimension unit.  e.g. 1em or 1cm 
for example.

How can I get a larger horizontal space say 3em , rather that having to 
write
  \hskip 1em  \hskip 1em  \hskip  1em              three  times?

------------- minimal example follows:

\starttext

     \framed[ width=8cm, height=4cm,
              align={flushleft}]
       {Here is the minimum example:  \crlf

        \hskip 1em  1em space before this line? \crlf
        \hskip 2em  2em space before this line? \crlf
        \hskip 3em  3em space before this line? \crlf

        \hskip+1em  1em space before this line? \crlf
        \hskip+2em  2em space before this line? \crlf
        \hskip+3em  3em space before this line? \crlf

        \hskip+1cm  1cm space before this line? \crlf
        \hskip+2cm  2cm space before this line? \crlf
        \hskip+3cm  3cm space before this line? \crlf


\stoptext
